Objective To study the inhibitory effect of CD/5 FC system on the prostate cancer cell DU145,RM 1 in vitro. Methods In vitro prostate cancer cells DU145 and RM 1 were infected by recombinant adenoviral vector and then the inhibitory effect and the bystander effect of CD/5 FC system were observed. Results CD/5 FC system had a remarkable inhibitory effect on prostate cancer cell DU145 and RM 1 in vitro, the inhibition rates being higher than 97% when infected by AdCMVCD after 4 days added with 15.5mmol/L 5 FC. A strong bystander effect could also be observed, more than 75% tumor cells being killed when only 10% were infected. Conclusions CD/5 FC system may serve as an effective gene therapeutic method.The existence of bystander effect makes itself available in the use of tumor treatment in vivo.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of alpha lipoic acid on early diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods Seventy patients with early diabetic nephropathy were randomly divided into two groups.Patients in control group were treated with regular glycemic control methods,while patients in treatment group were received alpha lipoic acid 300 mg static drop treatment for two weeks beside regular treatment.High sensitivity C reaction protein,microalbuminuria and urine creatinine were measured before and after the treatment.Microalbuminuria and urine creatinine were re-measured three months later.Results At the end of two weeks treatment,the levels of high sensitivity C reaction protein in the treatment group decreased from (3.92 ± 4.56) mg/L to (2.24 ± 2.49) mg/L,and there was significant difference (t =2.803,P ＜ 0.05).Microalbuminuria decreased from (127.18 ± 76.91) mg/L to (84.50 ± 122.87) mg/L,and there was significant difference (t =2.501,P ＜ 0.05).The ratio of microalbuminuria and urine creatinine in treatment group decreased from(28.95 ± 30.49) mg/mmol to(13.76 ± 20.83) mg/mmol,and there was significant difference (t =3.616,P ＜ 0.05).While there was no significant difference in the control group before and after regular waglycemic control.At three months after treatment,there were no significant difference regarding of microalbuminuria,the ratio of microalbuminuria and urine creatinine between treatment and control groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Alpha lipoic acid might be with ability of decreasing the levels of microalbuminuria of diabetic nephropathy in the short term,but further study is needed to verify whether alpha lipoic acid can decrease the level of microalbuminuria in the long term.

Abstrcat:Pulmonary artery hypertension ( PAH) is a cardiopul-monary disease with extensive obliterative changes in the small to midsized pulmonary arterioles. This review summarizes the al-tered inflammation and immune processes underlying the devel-opment of PAH, and discusses inflammatory factors, immune cells, Rho kinase and gene implicated in PAH. Preclinical stud-ies have provided the basis for abnormal immune response in ani-mal models of the PAH, and this paper, based on inflammatory/immune response mechanisms, proposes PAH potential therapeu-tic targets.

Currently,the incidence of breast cancer ranks first at home and abroad of female cancer and the age of onset tends to be younger.Due to the local changes of the tumor residual cavity after the breast conserving surgery,we can't accurately delineate the irradiation range using traditional breast conserving surgery combined with external irradiation of whole breast and tumor bed plus the amount,and the course of treatment is longer.Intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) can avoid the impact of respiratory motion and postural changes.Meanwhile,it can immediately irradiate the tumor bed intraoperative accurately.For patients,IORT can shorten the cycle of radiotherapy and reduce irradiation on the skin and subcutaneous tissue.So IORT is convenient,easy to be accepted,and it has relatively few complications,good cosmetic results and so on.In recent years,more and more Cancer Center choose breast conserving surgery combined with IORT for the treatment of early stage breast cancer and do researches to the indications,methods,dosage,efficacy and prognosis of IORT.

AIM: To investigate the effects of propofol, midazolam and thiopental sodium on neurologic and histologic outcome from focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in a rat model of reversible middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). 　METHODS: Male SD rats were scheduled to undergo 3 h MCAO by intraluminal suture and 24 h reperfusion. Neurologic outcome was scored with a 0-5 grading scale. Infarct volume was shown with TTC staining and measured by image analysis system. Ultrastructure of the tissues taken from the brim of the damaged area was examined under electron microscope. 　RESULTS: Both propofol and midazolam could attenuate neurologic deficits, reduce infarct and edema volumes, and ameliorate ultrastructure damage at the brim of lesion. Propofol showed better neuroprotection than midazolam while thiopental sodium did not exhibit protective effect.　CONCLUSION: Propofol and midazolam, but not thiopental sodium, can provide protective effects against reperfusion induced injury in rats subjected to focal cerebral ischemia.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of N-cadherin in urothelial bladder cancer and analyse its relation to clinicpathologic and prognosis of bladder cancer.Methods The expression of N-cadherin in 145 urothelial bladder cancer and 25 normal bladder tissues was detected by immunuhistochemisty,and correlations between N-cadherin and clinicopathologic features were analysed.Results The positive rate of N-cadherin protein was significantly higher in bladder cancer than in normal bladder tissue (P＜0.01).The positive rate of N-cadherin protein was 38.6％ in G1 bladder cancer,58.4％ in G2-G3 bladder cancer,and its difference was significant (P =0.028).The expression was significantly lower in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer than in muscle invasive bladder cancer (45.7％ vs 64.7％,P=0.029).The muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients were followed up 4-103 months.Among those,the overall survival with positive expression of N-cadherin protein was 24.2％ (8/33),and the overall survival with negative expression of N-cadherin protein was 66.7 ％ (12/18).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the positive expression of N-cadherin was significantly associated with overall survival of patients with muscle-invasive-bladder cancer (P=0.002 2).Multivariate Cox analysis showed that N-cadherin expression was an important prognostic factor.Conclusions The expression of N-cadherin protein was high in bladder cancer.The detection of the expression of N-cadherin protein is associated with the diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer.
